yet another fatal error

  • I first got this error and was told in the forums to contact my ISP:

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /data/15/1/127/106/1453269/user/1561817/htdocs/lettersfromyournightlynelson/nelsondiaries/wp-admin/includes/update.php on line 198

    I was told by my ISP that I could get into WP to add more memory to my blog. I was clueless so I told it to “fix everything and return it to normal”. When I tried to log in again to my dashboard I now get this error.

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 7680 bytes) in /data/15/1/127/106/1453269/user/1561817/htdocs/lettersfromyournightlynelson/nelsondiaries/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules/sharedaddy/sharing-sources.php on line 914

    How do you allocate more memory. Network solutions will not help with third party software and I am all thumbs on this thing.

  • The message says you only have 32MB of memory allocated. Which is obviously isn’t enough for WordPress in your environment.

    Take a look at the four steps listed here:

    Thanks for this tutorial.

    I am trying to use the one of the 4 methods, but I am so web illiterate and my ISP refuses to help me.

    Is there any other in depth tutorials on where to go in and tweak these files. I know what an .htaccess doc is, but I already have one as a redirect on my top level. Is it under “blog” where all this stuff is? How do you get to the .php code?

    Again, I am all thumbs.

    You can add
    php_value memory_limit 64M
    to the top of the .htaccess you already have in the root directory. So that it becomes the new first line of the .htaccess file.

    I searched for tutorials and couldn’t find anything with the kind of detail you are thinking of.

    I looked at Network Solutions site and they don’t talk about their memory limit for their hosting packages. So, I don’t see why they would complain if you asked a simple question like: “what is the maximum amount of memory I can use for a php program?” or perhaps “I have a php program that needs more than 32MB of memory (RAM). Is that the maximum amount allowed for my web hosting package?”

    I really would consider changing hosting providers. To one that is more helpful, and knows what WordPress is. You might be able to get a refund from your current provider if you haven’t been there long.
